In addition, recirculating ball bearings support the load on the traveler car without binding. Control lines and cleats provide mechanical advantage to bring the car to weather. Even under high mainsheet loads, one can trim the traveler car with ease.

Traveler car bearings:
• Hi load Torlon bearings (take the load from the mainsheet): 240
• Delrin bearings (support an unloaded car during a jibe): 240

The kit includes track, car, control blocks, and stainless steel risers. The risers are available that interface between the original angled molded in fiberglass risers (provided for the original curved track) and the new flat track, or as stand alone risers that mount directly to the deck of an earlier boat.

We are unable to provide the mounting screws for the risers to be installed to the deck nor the fasteners for the halyard lift turning blocks as the thickness of the fiberglass can vary substantially from one boat to another.

If boat is equipped with a dodger:
Order the traveler control dodger retrofit kit below.

1) This traveler, with it's control lines forward of the track, will interfere with the optional cowl vents used on early Catalina 36. If you have cowl vents, order A8264 found below under "May we also suggest"

2) This custom made part is not returnable. Be certain of the year of your boat and if you have angled fiberglass risers or a flat surface for mounting before ordering. Other versions fitting different risers are available upon request.

5) When you order a special order item it sets off a chain of events like Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory. Once you turn the valve the chocolate is coming down the pipe. If you then decide you want caramel, the chocolate is still going to come out of the pipe. We can't put the Chocolate back in the pipe, so someone is going to have to eat it, and it's not going to be us! Your order can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into caramel, so please order carefully the first time!

6) Since every boat deck is a different thickness, we cannot included the bolts that mount the traveler to your deck. You will have to obtain them locally after determining the thickness of your deck after removing the old bolts. The bolts that mount the track to the risers are included.
